Room temperature benzene C-H activation by a new [PSiP]Ir pincer complex.
The synthesis and reactivity of coordinatively unsaturated Rh and Ir complexes supported by the new bis(phosphino)silyl pincer ligand [kappa(3)-(2-Cy(2)PC(6)H(4))(2)SiMe](-) ([Cy-PSiP](-)) are reported, including the first example of facile, room temperature intermolecular arene C-H bond activation mediated by a silyl pincer complex.
